Countdown

In East Boothbay today I was joking that the wholesome sea air, lack of graffiti, and absence of absurd fashion displays was beginning to make me nervous.

In 4 days, we head back to Brooklyn, with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it will be wonderful to sleep in our own bed and to have some time together as a nuclear family after so much socializing. As much as I love Maine, I am looking forward to being on our home turf again.

Axel, 2012

On the other hand, in a week, Will heads back to work after a month of paternity leave and I have to figure out how to keep this sometimes, er, melodramatic baby happy all day long on my own.

About Me

For the past 14 years, I've lived in New York and worked for various magazines and newspapers as a freelance editor and writer. I live in Williamsburg, where I enjoy skulking around cafes, walking down to the waterfront, and marveling at the Portlandia-ness of it all. In August of 2012 we added our son Axel to the clan. In March of 2014, Oscar was born, and in December, 2015, Balthazar joined the family. We are still doing our best to travel the globe and make adventures out of the every day in Brooklyn.
